Renaissance Studies Article Prize

About this program

The Renaissance Society of America (RSA) offers a broad suite of annual awards, prizes, grants, scholarships, and fellowships supporting research, publication, digital innovation, teaching, and public engagement in Renaissance studies (c.1300–1700). Opportunities include themed article and journal prizes (e.g., RSA Renaissance Studies Article Prize, William Nelson Prize), multiple book prizes, Digital Innovation Awards, High‑School Teaching Grants, short‑term research fellowships, career‑targeted fellowships (Delmas Public Engagement, Nonprofit Governance), DHSI scholarships, and the Eloise Quiñones Keber Fellowship. Most competitions require RSA membership and carry award‑specific eligibility — for example, publication in specified venues or topics for article/book prizes, secondary‑educator status for teaching grants, digital project scope for Digital Awards, and priority consideration for advanced graduate, early‑career, contingent, or low‑resourced‑institution scholars in certain fellowships. Applicants should consult each award’s webpage for deadlines and detailed application criteria.
